The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 13
It offended him both as a lawyer and as a lover of the sane and customary sides of life, to whom the fanciful was the immodest.
それは、弁護士としても、また空想的なものを不謹慎と見なす、正気で慣習的な生活の側面を愛する者としても、彼を不快にさせた。
And hitherto it was his ignorance of Mr. Hyde that had swelled his indignation; now, by a sudden turn, it was his knowledge.
そしてこれまでは、ハイド氏についての無知が彼の憤りを膨らませていたのだったが、今や突然の転換によって、それは彼の知識そのものとなっていた。
It was already bad enough when the name was but a name of which he could learn no more.
その名前がそれ以上何も知ることのできない単なる名前に過ぎなかった時でさえ、すでに十分悪いことであった。
It was worse when it began to be clothed upon with detestable attributes; and out of the shifting, insubstantial mists that had so long baffled his eye, there leaped up the sudden, definite presentment of a fiend.
それが忌まわしい特質をまとい始めた時にはさらに悪くなった。そして、長い間彼の目を惑わせてきた移ろいやすく実体のない霧の中から、悪魔の突然の明確な姿が飛び出してきたのだ。
"I thought it was madness," he said, as he replaced the obnoxious paper in the safe, "and now I begin to fear it is disgrace."
「狂気だと思っていた」と彼は不快な書類を金庫に戻しながら言った、「だが今は、それが恥辱ではないかと恐れ始めている。」
With that he blew out his candle, put on a greatcoat, and set forth in the direction of Cavendish Square, that citadel of medicine, where his friend, the great Dr. Lanyon, had his house and received his crowding patients.
そう言うと彼はろうそくを吹き消し、外套を羽織り、医学の牙城であるキャヴェンディッシュ広場の方向へ出発した。そこには彼の友人である偉大なるラニョン博士が家を構え、押し寄せる患者たちを診ていた。
"If anyone knows, it will be Lanyon," he had thought.
「誰かが知っているとすれば、それはラニョンだろう」と彼は思っていた。
The solemn butler knew and welcomed him; he was subjected to no stage of delay, but ushered direct from the door to the dining-room where Dr. Lanyon sat alone over his wine.
厳粛な執事は彼を知っており、歓迎した。彼は何の待ち時間も経ることなく、ラニョン博士がひとりでワインを傾けていた食堂へと、玄関から直接案内された。
This was a hearty, healthy, dapper, red-faced gentleman, with a shock of hair prematurely white, and a boisterous and decided manner.
この人物は、快活で健康的で小ざっぱりとした赤ら顔の紳士であり、早くも白くなった豊かな髪を持ち、騒々しくも決断力のある物腰をしていた。
At sight of Mr. Utterson, he sprang up from his chair and welcomed him with both hands.
アタスン氏の姿を見るや、彼は椅子から飛び上がり、両手で彼を歓迎した。
